Beta-Aspartame can have a bitter taste due to the specific arrangement of its amino acid components, which can interact with taste receptors on the tongue in a way that elicits a bitter sensation. This is a common characteristic of certain peptides and amino acid derivatives, where their molecular structure influences how they bind to taste receptors. Additionally, the presence of certain byproducts formed during its synthesis or degradation can contribute to the bitterness. Overall, the complexity of flavor perception involves both chemical structure and individual differences in taste sensitivity.
